Hi, I'm Bianca Lee.

I'm a sound artist, facilitator, and founder of Culture of Calm, where I explore how sound can help people feel more connected, supported, and at ease in an increasingly overstimulating world.

My work sits at the intersection of sound, human experience, and environment design. Through immersive sound experiences, research, and cross-sector collaborations, I partner with organizations to create moments of calm and connection in places where they're often needed most — from airports and workplaces to museums, conferences, and public spaces.

Much of my work begins with curiosity.

I'm fascinated by the environments we move through every day and the subtle ways they shape how we think, feel, connect, and participate. I find myself asking questions like:

  • What's missing here?

  • How could this environment better support the people moving through it?

  • What would help someone feel more welcome, more present, or more at ease?

Sound is often the tool I use to explore those questions, but the work has always been about people.

Before founding Culture of Calm, I spent over a decade as an award-winning communications leader in corporate banking. That experience continues to shape how I work today — bringing together research, strategic thinking, partnership development, and creativity to design experiences that are both meaningful and practical.

My own experience with anxiety and a late autism diagnosis has profoundly influenced this work. It strengthened my belief that our environments matter, and that small, intentional interventions can meaningfully change how people experience everyday life.

With Italian roots, I was introduced to classical music from an early age. A live symphony performance sparked a lifelong fascination with music's ability to move us emotionally — an influence that continues to shape my ambient compositions and immersive sound experiences today.

Over the past nine years, I've collaborated with organizations including Toronto Pearson International Airport, Nieuport Aviation, TD Bank, KPMG, Disney, Marvel Studios, TIFF, the Royal Ontario Museum, the University of Toronto, Humber Polytechnic, and many others to create experiences that blend artistic expression with human wellbeing.

I've also been invited to speak at TEDxYouth, Women of Influence, CreativeMornings Toronto, and Fuckup Nights Hamilton, and have served as a guest lecturer at the University of Toronto's School of Continuing Studies. In 2024, I introduced the Royal Ontario Museum's first immersive sound bath installation during ROM After Dark.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me learning piano as an adult, exploring Toronto neighbourhoods, chasing sunrises, or spending time with my two sweet and sassy lionhead rabbits, Nigella and Irie.

If you'd like to connect, I'd love to hear from you.
